Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our guided walking tours in Tasmania.

What are the best walking tours in Tasmania?

ParkTrek offers several fully guided walking tours in Tasmania, including the 5-day Tarkine Wilderness Walk through Australia’s largest cool temperate rainforest, the 4-day Cradle Mountain Highlights Walk, the 4-day Three Capes Track Walk, the 4-day Bay of Fires Walk, the 4-day Southwest & Mt Field Walk, and the 4-day Bruny Island Walk.

How long do your Tasmania walking tours last?

Our guided walking tours in Tasmania range from 4 to 5 days. Each tour is all-inclusive and fully guided, with comfortable accommodation provided every night.

Do I have to carry a heavy backpack on the Tasmania walks?

No. All of our Tasmania walking tours are pack-free. You carry only a light daypack with your daily essentials, and our team moves your main luggage to your next lodge each day.

What is the best time of year to do a walking tour in Tasmania?

Tasmania’s walking season generally runs from spring through autumn (October to early May), when the weather is milder and the days are longer. We recommend checking our departure dates for each specific walk to find the best fit for your schedule.

Are National Park fees included in the tour price?

Yes. All National Park entry fees are fully included in the price of our Tasmania walking tours — there are no hidden extras.

What meals are provided on the Tasmania walks?

All meals are included. You’ll enjoy hearty breakfasts, packed trail lunches, and two-course dinners each evening, plus plenty of snacks, fruit, and non-alcoholic beverages on and off the trail.

What should I wear and bring on a Tasmania walking tour?

We recommend sturdy, worn-in hiking boots with good ankle support, a quality waterproof jacket, and warm layers — Tasmanian weather can be unpredictable. Full packing guidance is available in our ‘Get Hiking Ready’ resources on the website.

Are your Tasmania walking tours suitable for solo travellers?

Yes, many of our guests join our Tasmania walking tours as solo travellers. The small-group format (maximum 10 guests) makes it easy to meet like-minded walkers and feel part of the group from day one.
